there is a high from election? but this with the consumer confidence plunging how do you make sense of it so soon after the elections? >> it was a miserable election. wasn't it. the whole time we had a small conversation. the president ran a pretty negative campaign and didn't win a mandate on big stuff. he did talk about his desire to increase taxes which may go to melissa's point. but after an elect like this. there isn't that goodwill. there isn't that kind of national coming together that you might have seen for, say, bill clinton or ronald reagan and their reelection. people are pretty bummed out. alisyn: tell us what the larger issue is. does this mean people won't be spending as much on christmas gifts in how do it translate to what it means to the economy? >> it's always hard to reconcile how people feel and how they act. we know you may feel like you shouldn't spend a lot of money but when push comes to showf end up buying an extra gift. soy don't think it means christmas is doomed. but like you were sayin

republicans who were elected won those elections running on limited government and less taxes. they shouldn't give in to that because the principle is wrong and the president doesn't even have a serious plan. his idea of raising taxes will run our country for a few days and all it is is a political trophy to the left. we need to do what's good for america despite what he's been able to sell the media, but taxing the rich is not going to help the middle class. >> brian: not going to help the economy and i think senator demint has to be somewhat frustrated because he knows the president is getting his message out effectively. he's effective in making the republicans seem like they're the party of the rich and wants to cut your health care, even though the policies are correct, because you're looking at entitlements which are unsustainable and that raising taxes on the rich will overall hurt the economy. the messaging is not there. i think senator demint feels as though he could get the messaging down better with a powerful group like the heritage foundation as opposed to a single
